Responsive, communicative, and kept me informed every step of the way!
I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Easley two years ago when I was facing a criminal reckless driving charge that could have had serious consequences for my future. Thanks to Mr.Easley's expertise and dedication, the charges were dropped entirely. I'm returning to him again, facing a warrant in debt (civil claim for money) related to the previous case. I cannot recommend Mr. Easley highly enough. He is an exceptional lawyer who goes above and beyond to fight for his clients' rights. From our initial consultation to the final hearing, Mr. Easley was always responsive and communicative, keeping me informed every step of the way. He left no stone unturned in building a strong case, and his persuasive arguments convinced the judge to drop the charges in my previous case. In my current civil case, I've decided to involve my most invaluable ally. He has worked tirelessly to build the strongest possible case on my behalf in the past, and his legal expertise has been crucial in navigating the complex legal terrain. I am confident that with Mr. Easley on my side, I have the best possible chance of success. If you're looking for a lawyer who will fight tirelessly for your rights and leave no stone unturned in building your defense, look no further than Mr. Easley. He is truly the best in the business, and I am forever grateful for all that he has done for me.

Exceeds Expectations
Mr. Easley came highly recommended by another attorney, who is a friend of my husband. We were searching for an attorney who would review our circumstances and help us understand and navigate the Fairfax County court process. We were the victims of a situation, and it was critical that the violation received the proper attention. After the first call with Mr. Easley, we knew we were in good hands. Mr. Easley is not only knowledgeable, experienced and professional, he made us feel that he understood our position throughout the process. Mr. Easley was transparent and direct, yet compassionate. He will be the first person we call if we ever need to retain counsel again. We highly recommend him based on the service he provided to us.

Best Lawyer in the DMV
From the first phone call I made to Darwyn Easley and received his prompt response, to the final disposition of my case; he was helpful through and through. He spent a lot of time giving me a free initial consultation and explaining his thought process to me, allowing me to understand exactly where his mind was at to determine if we were a good fit, and if he had a good thorough understanding of the portion of law that was relevant to my case. I appreciated that he always got back in touch with me and helped guide and leverage my expectations without ever leading me blindly down a path. He kept my feet planted on the ground with the results I expected and what I could expect come my day in court. He expertly guided through each stage of the legal process. Most importantly, he didn't rush me along but listened to my story and then offered what I view as invaluable guidance. His knowledge of the process, the law and his close-working relationship among his colleagues all contributed to a positive outcome. I wouldn’t think twice about recommending him to anyone. He’s not afraid to stand up to prosecutors for you. He is a man with integrity, intelligence and tactfulness. Straightforward and clear with his clients of what’s expected. Definitely the type of integral man you want to have on your side. Whether a serious traffic case, a drug matter or anything in between, I have the utmost confidence that he will do his best to ensure the best possible outcome for you.

Assault & Battery - Dismissed
I had a highly frustrating case against a former roommate who wanted to play the spiteful game of charging me with a crime he knows he committed. It was a rather simple case to beat due to the party not having any hard evidence, but complicated in the sense of it being up in the air if it went to trail. This had me worried. But Mr. Easley was very strategic in his approach using skillful concepts to push the matter in our favor. Through these concepts, he managed to prevent a trial and get the case dismissed altogether and allow me to walk away a free man.

A season of imperfection
My perfect life had been interrupted by the elements of an energy I’ve yet to understand. I had been relocated from a space of strive to a space of survive. I felt voiceless, I don’t wish to discuss the nature of my case but I could’ve been convicted for a significant amount of time. Mr E, coolest angel I ever did see. Recommended by a family friend. I was beyond skeptical as a young brown man I had not had a lot of belief in lawyers or anything judicial thinking they all work together to incarcerate us for profit. NOT TRUE!!! His office reminded me of the movie mo betta blues by spike lee. He talked to me directly, not at me. I was proud to have Mr E on my case he, represented what I could possibly be someday if I take care. Mr. E is cool, smart and powerful! He actually felt like an extension of me it was an overall comfortable experience within a scary one. He’s your man!

Assault & Battery - Dismissed/Null Prosecute
I am extremely satisfied and gratified with the performance and results achieved by Mr Easley with regards to my family member's case. Mr Easley was professional and proficient in his defense of this case. He work diligently and without compromise to understand the situation, communicate the potential risks, and then develop and execute a strategy to move forward. Mr Easley used his understanding of the art and science of law defense to communicate with prosecutors and courts to his advantage. He is top-notch and a top performer. Get him on your team. A great American and great lawyer.

Speeding Charge Reduced
Darwyn is a great attorney to have for anyone facing charges in the state of Virginia. He asks the tough questions, and really makes sure to get to thee root of the issue so that he can provide the best result possible. When I was pulled over two years ago, I was scared and annoyed with my situation of facing a misdemeanor because of my reckless driving. Darwyn came in to help set me on a path that resulted in my speed being reduced and not having to worry about anything more than points on my license and insurance rates going up. He is completely worth your time and money!

Criminal Defense - Drug related charge dismissed
Mr. Easley came recommended by a friend, and after my experience with Mr. Easley, I cannot recommend him enough. Original charges included two drug related felonies. Prosecution dropped one of the felonies entirely and amended the other to a misdemeanor, which was eventually dismissed over a couple years in court. Mr. Easley was instrumental in easing my initial anxiety over the arrests and multiple felony charges, explaining to me the process as well as what to expect, and helping me eventually getting my case dismissed. Given the rapidly changing drug laws in VA, Mr. Easley was also able to provide guidance on future steps regarding expungement.

Incredible Attorney!
Mr. Easley was recommended to us by a friend attorney after we found ourselves in unfortunate situation with our son. From the very begging he was straightforward, knowledgeable, and gave us the feeling he was professional who is not easily pushed around in court. Our case was put off multiple times, but Darwyn always kept us in the loop and ALWAYS responded to our emails and texts in a timely manner. He was passionate about helping our son, which meant a lot for us. In the end Darwyn was able to get the case dismissed entirely! Our family cannot thank Mr. Easley enough. If you are looking for a lawyer who will truly fight for you, hire this man. He is incredible professional and attorney from God!

Reduced Charges - DUI and Marijuana
Mr. Easley was introduced to me by a friend who had use him in the past and was highly recommended. Mr. Easley represented my son for a DUI, possession of marijuana, stopping abruptly causing someone to rear end him, agitated/hostile at the police station. Mr. Easley got the DUI reduced to reckless driving, possession of marijuana dismissed, fines were reduced, 6 month restricted license with interlock, $500 restitution to the driver that rear ended my son (due to the fact my son was drinking and abruptly stopped, no real way to get out of that). My son was lucky to have Mr. Easley represent him, not sure how many attorneys would have been capable of getting his charges reduced to what he was able to. Considering my son is a young adult, Mr. Easley was willing to chat with me about his case, what the plans were along with potential outcome. That meant a lot to me as a mother. Definitely would recommend Mr. Easley and would most definitely use him again if needed.

Retired Military
I was referred to Mr. Easley from one of my friends who had an issue with been given a DUI. He told me to contact Mr. Easley because Mr. Easley argued his case based on the law and the facts of the case. So, I called Mr. Easley and explained to him our circumstance. He explained to me what he could do for us based on Virginia's laws. He did not try to hide anything from us and based on Virginia's laws he told me what to expect. For every court appearance, he was thoroughly prepared. He had the required answers and he did his research prior to court dates which made our days in court very calming. For about a year he worked with us and the court system. He fought for us and our case. He was honest throughout the entire process. I would recommend Mr. Easley to any of my family, fellow Christians and friends. His honesty and integrity went a long way with us. Thank you Mr. Easley for being a true professional and lawyer.

It took me a year to try to put into words
As I started off it took me a year to try and put into words the positive dramatic impact. Mr. Easley has had on my life. I recently had a hired him for a case. That he as usual provided the best outcome possible. But this case isn’t what took me so long to write this review . It was Mr. Easley work in my child custody case that I say his thorough diligent passionate professional dedication to my case that to this day I have the relationship I have with my 11 year old daughter. My family says prayers for Mr. Easley to this day. I’m so lucky and grateful to have an attorney. Like him. His passion and professional nature I have yet to me . I am very thankful and great full to have had him as an attorney and would refer and do refer everyone I know to him. Thank you

Highly recommended, outstanding results
I was pulled over for reckless driving going 101 in a 55 which is a class 1 misdemeanor offense. This charge can carry up to a $2,500 fine and six month license suspension and 6 negative points on my license. Mr. Easley recommended I preform community service, and complete a reckless driving class and a driver improvement class which added positive points on to my license. Mr. Easley was clear and informative in what I needed to complete before my court date. He responded promptly to all my emails and was very helpful. Mr. Easley worked for the best possible results. Mr. Easley had my charges reduced to an infraction and a $500 fine with only 3 negative points on my license. I am extremely happy with the results of Mr. Easley work and would recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer.

Stellar Representation
Mr. Easley is the lawyer to hire if you live in Northern Virginia area! He is someone you can rely on and trust, one who has nothing but YOUR best interest. He is very knowledgeable, any question or concern that I had, he had an answer for. I came to him with two charges, had one completely dismissed and the other one down to simple speeding. I thank Mr. Easley for representing me in my case, and making it known he is the lawyer to go to and hire for any future legal matters.

Fantastic representation, result
After finding myself in an unfortunate situation, I needed the best representation. After going through several attorneys, I was incredibly fortunate that Darwyn was referred to me by a professional colleague. Darwyn ended up being a Godsend. Having worked closely with lawyers for my professional career I can say unequivocally that Darwyn is one of sharpest and most skilled trial lawyers I’ve been around. A relentless advocate, he worked tirelessly on my behalf to obtain a truly amazing result. He did so by knowing more than and by outworking the opposition. Darwyn was always responsive and treated me like his only client. I cannot recommend Darwyn enough, particularly when the stakes are highest.

The MAN of Fairfax County
Mr. Easley is a great man. He has represented me more than once in Fairfax County. He's very nice, understanding, funny, and he knows his stuff. It seems as though he knows everyone in that courthouse, including the prosecutors and judges, and they all treat him with a LOT of respect. I absolutely recommend Darwyn Easley, and I have recommended him to people I know and love.

Mrs. M. MacDonald
Mr. Easley was hired for an appeal of a Permanent Protective Order entered in the Juvenile Domestic Relations District Court. Right from the start, he was extremely responsive and reviewed all aspects of the case, including learning as much about the accuser and the history from multiple sources. After issuing extensive discovery and reviewing all of the responses and frank discussions with the Appellee’s attorney, the Appellee agreed that the Order be dissolved, saving us another exhausting and emotionally draining hearing. Mr. Easley was tough and aggressive in his pursuit of justice. Hopefully, we will never need his services again, but if we do, we would not hesitate to retain him and have him in our corner.

Let’s be honest, Everything happens for a reason. From being pulled over clocked at 94/40, court appearance requesting a continuance for seeking counsel, exiting the courtroom encountering a mellow toned, GOD fearing and spoken, fresh dressed lawyer by the name of Darwyn Easley. Next Steps: To hiring Darwyn Easley, him assigning me action items, my comment to delivering, delivered, court appearance, walks out with Improper Driving, #caseclosed. Considering doing business with Easley Law Firm was the best move for me. My interactions with Darwyn were quick, clear and concise. He made it easy and advised me way forward, for leverage on our case. Overall, I rate his charismatic expertise 5 stars. Darwyn is my lawyer, so I know I am in good hands. Unlimited recommendations will be my contributions to his continued success. Thank you again for your exceptional representation. Easley Law Firm has been an outstanding service provider.

"I highly recommend Mr. Easley. He is a fantastic attorney that obtains absolutely fantastic results for his clients. I have had the pleasure of being able to see him in action, and words cannot describe his professionalism, kindness and integrity, as well as his legal acumen. While he does obtain fantastic results, and is well respected by the prosecutors and judges throughout state and federal courtrooms in Northern Virginia (and Washington, D.C.) the thing that is most remarkable about Darwyn is his humility and the fact that he's a genuinely nice and thoughtful guy. I highly recommend him."
